- Launched at the Mobile World Congress 2021

It's called YouCare and is the new remote health monitoring service, based on a 
revolutionary new wearable technology, totally textile, washable and easy to 
use.

This innovation, totally made in Italy, is able to detect a large number of 
bio-vital parameters of the individual and transmit them, in an intelligent 
way, thanks to 5G.

The project focuses on the use of revolutionary textile devices like the 
T-shirt without metal components and with sensors naturally "set" into the 
fabric. The project was presented today in front of the world press during the 
Mobile World Congress 2021 being held in Barcelona.

During the event, ZTE iterated that they are particularly proud to be partner 
in this extraordinary innovation and firmly believe that 5G technology is the 
key to a better quality of life. ZTE further emphasized that they believe in 
talent and capabilities and want to keep giving their contribution to the 
Italian and the global technological development. For this reason, starting 
from next fall, ZTE will initiate the YouCare 5G test in the Innovation and 
Research Center located in L'Aquila.

YouCare enables the detection of bio-vital parameters, such as a "real" 
electrocardiogram, a respiratory act analysis, the components of the sweat, the 
muscle effort, and the body temperature, that has never been detected by 
textile sensors. The T-shirt allows the transmission, via ultra-fast 5G ZTE 
connection, to health centers and control, as well as to individual users.

"It is an invention that will change the life and the quality of home and 
remote medical assistance to many citizens experiencing health problems and 
vulnerable people suffering from chronic diseases, ensuring accessibility to 
care services and the support of our national and international network," said 
Francesco Rocca, Chairman of Italian Red Cross and IFRC. "We have been working 
on the project since 2018 and today we are able to present the results of this 
important experimentation, born in the most difficult moment of the Covid 
emergence. This experimentation allows us to think with pride about the path 
made so far and to look to the future with hope and certainty of having 
demonstrated the commitment, the ability and the dedication of Red Cross 
network, to use and to disseminate new technologies for the service of the 
people and of the society."

The textile technology, patented and certified, develops new services for the 
protection of health in the areas of telemedicine, work, sport, and the general 
well-being of an individual.

By monitoring health, stress, and active living behaviors, it improves the 
safety of people, of the elderly, and of the sportive people.

The bio-vital parameters of YouCare, detected by imperceptible polymeric 
sensors "set" in the fabric, are sent to a miniaturized control unit that 
records the data, converts them into digital format, and ultimately sends, 
thanks to 5G, to a bidirectional platform transmitting them to the user's 
smartphone or smartwatch in addition to a remote unit that analyzes the values 
with the medical software.

"From the very first moment - said Umberto Sgambati, CEO of Proger Group spa 
that, through the Start-Up Let's Web-earable Solutions, has created the "Smart 
T-shirt" sensor - we have believed and invested in what seemed to us a totally 
revolutionary idea that today is a concrete reality. Certified as a Medical 
Device, it has been enriched by the predictive algorithms of cardiovascular 
disorders of BSP-Medical the world leader in the field of Medical Data Science".
